CP6000/CP4000 NOTE The output of this unit is terminated internally. Use an oscilloscope with an input impedance of at least 1 MΩ. Immediately after powering on the probe, the probe may be subject to an appreciable offset drift due to the effect of self heating. To counteract this, allow the probe to warm up for about 30 minutes before carrying out measurement.
CP6000/CP4000 Features and Applications The CP6000 series current probes are wide band width DC / AC active current probes, featuring high bandwidth, fast and accurate capture the current wave, accuracy up to 1% and low circuit insertion loss. This probe can be used with any oscilloscope having a high-impedance BNC input.

CP6000/CP4000 Measurement methods: Confirm the previous steps Pull the switch control pole of the sensor, open the head of the sensor and make the current direction mark in Push the switch control pole of the sensor until the UNLOCK mark disappear. Lock the probe, make sure the entire part is closed, and then observe the waveform under test.
Can CP6000 series product measure small current? A: Yes. For now, the CP6000 series current probe has two optional ranges, and one is for small current. The current resolution of the CP6030(A) is 1mA. When measuring small current, please accurately zero set and degaussing the probe, and do not change the position of the probe hand grip.

CP6000/CP4000 Getting Started The CP4000 series current probe enables a general purpose oscilloscope to display AC and DC current signals up to 100 amps Peak (70A RMS). The current probe can also make AC and DC measurements with a multimeter by using the recommended accessory MT-246(BNC-to- banana) plug adapter.
CP6000/CP4000 Basic Operation Before using the probe, the batteries or specified power adaptor must be installed. WARNING! Do not clamp the probe onto circuits with voltages greater than 600 VAC. Personal Injury or damage to the probe may result. Always connect the CP4000 current probe output to the instrument before clamping onto the circuit under test.

CP6000/CP4000 clear and stable view of the signal. Set the oscilloscope input to DC volts ti see both the AC and DC current; Set the channel to AC to see the AC current only. The current drawn by different devices look much different than that of others. While the RMS current can only be used in low frequency current, the momentary peaks may be quite high.
